The Weekly Recap (August 15th-21st)

[tab:This Week]

*Phew* Alright, finally caught up on the Recaps! The biggest thing last week was, of course, gamescom, and there was a bit that came out of that. Sony’s console is picking up one of the 360’s biggest exclusives in Mass Effect 2. 160GB consoles are coming to replace the 120GB it looks like, Portal 2 has an announced release date, GT5 showed up, with more content (and won best of show and best console game), and Kung-Fu Live was there, too, and will have a supposed $15 price tag (really cheap for what looks like a pretty fun Eye-only title).

2K Games has gotten a lot of backlash when it was found that the PS3 version of Mafia II was lacking in details the 360 and PC versions had (but there are supposedly some PS3 screens that do have the ‘missing’ details), and, with my trip to LA, I wrote an impressions and hands-on post for SmackDown vs Raw 2011. As for all the trailers and videos, we’ve got some for Dragon Age 2, Killzone 3, LittleBigPlanet 2, InFamous 2, a teaser for Resistance 3, and more.

Oh, and Subway is running some promotions for their fiery footlongs with Sony, and they’re running contests on Twitter for it as well (in which both Luke and Tosh had won copies of LBP2, those lucky sons of…)

[tab:Community News]

There are a couple small, new things this week. Firstly, your points now show up at the top of the page, making it easier for you to check your balance.

Secondly, forum posts now show up in the activity feed. You can filter the feed by forum posts as well. Other things include the ability to mark forum posts as favorite, and, for writers, there’s a ‘Post News’ link at the top as well.

Alright, to begin, Oly announced the winners to the Mafia II T-Shirt Giveaway. Congratulations to Adam T and UbeRamza for winning that!

We’re also running a big giveaway on our FaceBook page for the Move. After we get 1000 fans on there, we will be running the contest on the site as well, so you must be a registered member on here (the site itself) to win.

Nothing is really planned as of immediately, but I do plan on running race nights when Gran Turismo 5 comes out, so if you’re interested, let us know! As well as ideas for other games, too.

Thanks for reading! I’m finally caught up again! As you can see, I’m trying to get on the ball and get my stuff done :P. Hopefully I can get the Weeklies I started running again (store updates and new releases).

Haha i knew Mass Effect 2 was coming out for the PS3. I live in edmonton where bioware is based and i talked to someone who was working on the game and they told me they were bound by a confidentiality agreement when i asked if mass effect 2 was going to come to the PS3.
